That gives the first hexagram of the book of changes called the Creative, which is a double trigram or heaven over heaven. I was not satisfied with that result so I threw the coins again and got exactly the same thing, nine straight lines and the Creative. Still I wasn't satisfied and did it again, and again got the exact same thing. It was astounding and I have been a believer ever since. Try it.

I have met Miss Macho, or so I would surmise of our first two meetings. Trying to choose between the feminine and more macho woman - I resort to the I Ching. I live my art. Should I wait for something that may be impossible, or should I cave and compromise, as I have always done before? I get 'The Wanderer' with changing line, six in the fifth place, 'wants to enter service of a prince', and which changes the hexagram to 'Retreat'. My interpretation is: if I hold-out for Miss Macho, I may be a wanderer for the rest of my life. Retreat would mean I would do as I did with Anna, and retreat into myself and my own world eventually. Well what do you know - I hadn't thought of that. It would be kind of a repeat experience. Well nothing wrong with that.

Miss Feminine is bright. She understands everything I say. She asks great questions. We are a good intellectual match. She is available but doesn't seem all that interested. I would have to be aggressive, something I don't like to do. I like for the woman to come and get me.
